Let's Rehash Some Old Movies!

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2005)

If you mixed Logan's Run, Freejack and Bad Boys II together... you would probably end up with a movie like The Island. My experience of watching what was actually a pretty decent film was spoiled slightly by the nagging feeling that I had seen all of it before.
Even the end sequence helicopter shots of the people in white on the hillside seemed to be stolen from the "I Still Call Australia Home" Qantas commercials.
But if you can get over the rehash of old movies (or if you haven't seen any of them), The Island is a well made, thought provoking film due to a good script and cast and a surprisingly restrained Michael Bay.
